Look at me! I am an AKC Havanese puppy! My Mom is Julie and my Dad is Rebel. I was born on August 20th and I will be ready for my forever home on October 15th! I have been family raised on a farm in the country. I have had my shots and de-wormers. I will be checked by a veterinarian. I am micro-chipped. For more information or to schedule a visit with me, please contact Leroy Monday through Saturday. All Sunday calls will be returned on Monday.
Havanese
This beautiful companion breed was created in the 1800s for the Cuban nobility, and was brought to the United States during the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The Havanese is an affectionate, playful, and energetic breed that gets along with everyone; the elderly, children, and even other dogs. They can live anywhere as long as they are with their human family, and are not kept outside. They need to live indoors. The Havanese does not like to be alone because they are sensitive, and can suffer from separation anxiety. New dog owners would do fine with a Havanese because the breed is intelligent and easy to train. However, it would be essential for the pup to have early training and socialization, this helps to deter bad behavior when older. The Havanese has a tender, kind, and silly personality, and loves to sit on the back of a couch or a table and just watch life. They seem to really love paper, especially toilet paper, and enjoy shredding it for the fun of it. The breed needs about 30 minutes of exercise a day, a long walk with playtime should suffice. They are typically 8-11 inches high, and usually weigh 7-13 pounds, with a lifespan of generally 12-15 years. Due to their thick, long, and silky coat, maintenance can be time consuming. The Havanese does need to have regular daily brushing to avoid matting, and some prefer to keep the breed’s coat clipped short.
